Hi everyone,

If you are using hastags with multiple words, please use camel case.

#LikeThisExample

Not #likethisexample

Why?

A) Screen readers will see a bunch of letters that doesn't make one word and read out each individual letter. Which makes it hard to understand.

B) For us sighted people, it is also easier to read.

Thanks you

@print but camel case would actually be #likeThisExample

No caps on first letter.

According to Wikipedia,, and the person who invented the term. it is correct.

@print the case you are using is called PascalCase. True camelCase has the first letter as a lower.

Incorrect.

It is camel case.

In particular upper camel case.

There is upper and lower canel case.

While aome people might call it PascalCase. That term did not enter usage until about 5 years later with .NET documentation.

"The earliest use of the name "Camel Case" occurs in 1995, in a post by Newton Love. "With the advent of programming languages having these sorts of constructs, the humpiness of the style made me call it HumpyCase at first, before I settled on CamelCase. I had been calling it CamelCase for years. ... The citation above was just the first time I had used the name on USENET."[
The term "Pascal Case" was coined in design discussions for the .NET Framework, first released in 2002"

@print What you pasted there is straight off ChatGPT. Not a great. I was doing dev work in the 90s, we were using the terms back then. camelCase is what we were using in coding, PascalCase was what we used in Pascal in the late 80’s. The term UpperCamelCase came along as people didn’t like the lowercase letter at the start due to acronyms in variables. camelCase is and always was a lowercase letter at the start, UpperCamelCase is a different type which was NOT mentioned in your original posting.

As for the accusation of using aa cheat machine, you might want to browse my timeline.

@print I have lost interest in you and your timeline. I don’t like people posting and quoting chunks of text from ChatGPT at me, it’s actually quite rude. I’ll bid you farewell, I’ve written hundreds of thousands of lines of code back from the early 90’s and I know and remember the true history of this having had it drummed into me as a junior engineer.

You are not the only one who wrote Pascal in the 90s

Reed the Wikipedia link, or stay ignorant.
